Stoic knowledge

“It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own.” – Marcus Aurelius

.

“Curb your desire—don’t set your heart on so many things and you will get what you need.” – Epictetus

.

“That’s why the philosophers warn us not to be satisfied with mere learning, but to add practice and then training. For as time passes we forget what we learned and end up doing the opposite, and hold opinions the opposite of what we should.” – Epictetus

.

“The chief task in life is simply this: to identify and separate matters so that I can say clearly to myself which are externals not under my control, and which have to do with the choices I actually control. Where then do I look for good and evil? Not to uncontrollable externals, but within myself to the choices that are my own…” – Epictetus

.

“In your actions, don’t procrastinate. In your conversations, don’t confuse. In your thoughts, don’t wander. In your soul, don’t be passive or aggressive. In your life, don’t be all about business.” – Marcus Aurelius

quitter333, Loved your post and the picture. It caught my eye right away.

The power and the determination of that cat are amazing. I look at that

picture not about physical attributes but having a power and determined mind.

Each and every one of us has the choice to go after what we need in this life

Thank you for sharing a powerful post with us. Make it a great day! xx

If you like REALLY determined animals and it inspires you (as is my case. looooove mustelids), I can suggest anything with wolverines

Such as
